Instead of the 10 micron spin-on fuel/water seperator filter? I thought about it for my F300 but was afraid of restriction.

I thought they discontinued the 225 and replaced it with the 235. If spec'ing out a new boat, I would opt for the max. HP Grady offers. Grady published specs the 225 w/F200 @6100 WOT /45.1 MPH. Plenty fast for me. The F250 4.2 would run @6000 WOT / 50.5 MPH. If you have a choice, IMHO, the F250...

A dockmate of mine repowered with twin 150 Tohatsu's. They are Honda's with different paint/graphics. He told me it was the best pricing he had found for quality motors. After 2 seasons, they have run flawlessly. Worth a look if there is a nearby dealer.

Another question as I am beginning to accumulate some materials for this project.... My boat is pre-wired for the factory windlass option and as mentioned before, I believe that the raw power is taken from the 4 ga. feed from the batteries (in the transom) terminated in the helm/console. I...

I do not remember what particular search term I used. When hunting for an item that I do not know what it is exactly called, I will google a "best guess" and look through the images that come back to identify what I am looking for. Once I know what a product is called, I can then search for...

The spacers/locks can be found on EBay. https://www.ebay.com/itm/4-7-8-WHITE-Bi ... RY&vxp=mtr

Looking at the wiring diagram for my boat (with a single battery selector switch) it appears that they run a 50A protected 2ga. feed to the console that everything runs off of except the always hot bilge pumps. I will grab the power there and mount the breaker next to the up/down switch...

I bit the bullet and ordered the windlass lids from Mike @ Taylor Marine. (made to order / 4 to 6 weeks) I went over to Defender Marine over the last weekend to get a first hand look at some bow rollers. They has some Windlines, Lewmar, and Kingston. I liked the Lewmars. They were finished well...

Right now the boat is sitting on the trailer and shrink wrapped. When I can get in it, I plan to measure the locker and see how much space I really have. I do plan on using 8-plait with probably 15' of chain to minimize any issues. My best guess is that Grady was using Windlines but had them...

Thanks for the heads up. I have been going back and forth between a horizontal and a vertical. I like the clean look of the vertical but if there will be performance issues, I may have to switch gears. I appears that GW mounts verticals on all their under 30' DC's. I assume all of the rode...

While we’re at it, does anyone know who supplies the anchor rollers to GW as depicted in the above pic?

Yes. The lids are molded. The only workaround was already mentioned here. Reinforce the existing lid and install a deck plate next to the windlass for locker access.

The split hatches, brackets, hinges, and related hardware come in a little north of $700.00. One would still have to buy the windlass, bow roller, anchor/rode, etc. Not one of the cheapest projects for the floating deficit. :bang The upside is that I believe the newer GW's are pre-wired.

"But... why not just bolt down your existing hatch and then install the largest deck plate you can on the stbd side of the hatch for access?" Strictly aesthetics. I like the clean look of the split hatch. If there was no bolster mounted at the front of the "vee" I would install a vertical...
